Highland High School is a four-year public secondary school in Pocatello, Idaho, part of the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District #25. The school colors are red, black, and white and its mascot is a ram.
Opened 54 years ago in 1963, Highland was the second of the three traditional public high schools in Pocatello, and serves the northern portion of the school district, including portions of Pocatello, Chubbuck, and Tyhee. It was originally going to be called "Gate City," one of Pocatello's historical nicknames. Students voiced their dislike for the name and a vote was held, and the winning name was "Highland." The campus is in an elevated area on Bench Road, northeast of the city center; the elevation is 4,740 ft (1,445 m) above sea level, about 270 feet (80 m) above rival Pocatello High.
There is another Highland High School in the state, at Craigmont in Lewis County in north central Idaho. A small school in Class 1A, it is usually distinguished by the name Highland-Craigmont to avoid confusion.
Since its founding, Highland has been the rival of Pocatello High. The "Black and Blue Bowl," the annual rivalry football game, received national attention across the years, most recently being named the best rivalry game in the state of Idaho in 2009 by ESPN. The rivalry's intensity was expectedly diminished with the addition of the city's third high school, Century, which opened 18 years ago in 1999.
